There is something so cute and even soothing about calm, young snakes

[@Lost_Hwasal]

this video made me realize how awesome it would be to wake up to a person rubbing a cheeseburger over my body.

[@JerryMetal]

+AngryKhan -- How about a person stuffing a cheesburger down your throat when you don't want to eat a cheeseburger :D

[@DavidEvans_dle]

LOL, thats really funny. :)

[@jennyv3192]

2:00 i imagined a small child getting smacked around with a head of broccoli until he finally decides to eat it.

[@givememydishes2535]

Jenny V these kids really don’t understand how good brocc really is

[@baileyenglish3370]

Yeah for real. 😒 snake looked interested until he hit it in the head with the food.

[@xxsnowninja2896]

dude bananas are predators. holy fuck

[@EddieAppell]

Great video - I've referred back to this video many times to help me with hatchlings. But the part about assist feeding an entire pinkie still eludes me. First of all, the hatchlings I have that are not eating are MUCH smaller than yours! Also, when I assist feed them they are squirming around like crazy and not nearly as calm as yours was. I can get them to eat a pinkie head, but not the whole pinkie. I'll keep trying, but getting an t=entire pinkie down their throat is not nearly as easy as you've made it look in my case...

[@greenpython1224]

Eddie, not all hatchlings are the same, some are calm, others nervous and aggressive, whilst other will do their best to regurgitate. I think if yours take pinkie heads, it's a matter of time (and perseverance) and they will take the whole body.

[@takumi2023]

+Green Python try warming up the food maybe not in microwave or anything just warm water snakes uses heat sensor to detect food source so maybe that would help

[@catalinahernandez2034]

this is sad poor babies

[@jagiceva]

+Catalina Hernandez sad to see but think... in nature they also eat the babies thats the reality

[@dianaperez7539]

i know

[@roboaustin98]

Most of these comments are people that know nothing about snake's. Somebody really thought that 1. the casing was to small 2. That force feeding seems cruel (he's actually saving the animals life) 3.That feeding rats to a snake is wrong. What would you prefer them to eat, zucchini? I also saw a comment about him seemingly being a non experienced breeder, when I can quite obviously tell the man knows what he is doing.

[@OvidiuDanBogat]

true ! :) I chuckled at "zucchini"... that'd be a sight :)) I imagined peopled buying shirts of the sort "my snake's a vegan". And yes, you can see he knows what he's doing. Especially with force feeding the snake. Getting it over with clean and smooth and as quickly as possible whilst not messing around. It's not a comfortable thing to do but you can't mess around doing it either if you absolutely have to.

[@yvesguerrero4319]

true, tho they also set traps in their houses like a normal thing, and seeing nature doing its thing as cruel

[@evelynbustamante_8346]

Really excellent and educational video. I am waiting my first clutch to hatch now and your video makes me feel a bit more comfortable in dealing with the neonates. Thanks!

[@dexterclayton]

Really great video, love seeing snakes get proper care. Too many people buy them for the novelty of just having a snake and kill them due to inproper husbandry and lack of research.

[@jessicatrentwood832]

So that's what mother in laws look like when they're young.

[@falconpawnch7]

I wish they stayed that small i would keep it on my finger lol

[@rushthezeppelin]

[@panscentralexpresspresents4733]

What cuties! Such a beatiful color scheme, This creation is pristine. Kudos oh Great One

[@Skyanimalgirl]

What beautiful little GTP's!! I highly respect you are using f/t mice, sire. I just hatched out cornsnake babies and praying they eat!

[@hamstergirl4444]

And this is the part I really hate about keeping snakes....feeding time, especially when you wind up having to dance the pinkie around to get an interest, lol. I didn't buy my feeders - we ranched our own, so there was an element of familiarity there, which made it a little hard for me. A PETA member once expressed outrage that I fed the snake "my little friends", and could I not train it to be a vegetarian...after spitting out the drink I had just choked on, I explained that I never fed the snake my friends, just the ones that pissed me off...she had absolutely no sense of humor ;)

[@skull.b2487]

I actually laughed at the snake being a vegetarian XDDD How could you not train your snake to be a vegetarian XDDDDD

[@kalishnikov2dos838]

Hehe a veggie snake

[@hamstergirl4444]

無言 欣 Skull.B I kid you not, she was serious! Somebody dragged me down to some local fund raiser for PETA - back then, I always had my rat - Charlie Parker - riding on my shoulder, and she came over and we started chatting...until she found out about my snakes, lol...if only Charlie had pee'd on her - but no, he was too much of a gentleman ;)

[@hamstergirl4444]

Kalishnikov 2dos Well, at least she didn't suggest they go vegan...that was long before being vegan got so trendy ;)

[@Iliya_sh72]

Fuck those PETA cunts

[@parkjiminz2556]

for some reason i tot the snake was a banana at the first place

me too😂😂

[@NinjaVegas]

yea i thought i was the only one haha

[@cardoorguy5825]

IDK.BITCH me too 😂😂😂🍌

[@CDR36951]

😂 Right after you got the pinky into the snakes mouth during the force feeding segment it looked like he/she had a grin. I don't know why I find that funny.

[@Johnnyk1995]

They are gorgeous, very tame by the looks of it, most green tree pythons i've seen are very defensive. Great video.

[@T10Titan]

Cool video its interesting to see small ones eat.

[@AS-pg4mz]

Your fingers look like better pinkies!

[@Genes32]

hahahah

[@CherokeeMoor]

lmfao😂😂😂

[@rayarena879]

OMG, these little pythons are adorable. They look like ripe little bananas.

[@curt8806]

Then just push down very very slowly... *Jabs food down*

[@BDragonmasTer]

+Kevin Rincon the caretaker of these snakes is extremely gentle with the fragile animals, and only puts the force that is necessary. Really difficult what he's doing at the end there, but he makes it look easy

[@mavinaxi163]

+BDragonmasTer It is indeed stressful for both of them (the owner and the pet), even for a viewer like me, it is stressful enough to watch!

[@sasukefallen]

Quite an adorable Snake

[@biguglybucker]

Snakes have always been my favorite animal aside from cats, because they're fun to hold, they act funny, and they're cute. But, this video.. when you say to use the "pinky" i thought you meant the pinky FINGER and not the mouse head, because it looks like the snake is getting kisses, :P

[@kevinjarrells7862]

i have a snakes.

[@Jeliah78]

A wonderfully educational video!

[@thisissoeasy]

Really excellent video and explanations, even though it hurt watching it, because I keep lots of pet rats.. I enjoy watching them grow from pinkies all the way to juveniles and adults... Cheers, Rolf

[@Mike.d.p.]

Poor little guy :( ah well, he needs to eat in order to live anyway.

[@moirawilliamson2989]

It looks bad, but it's just humans who actually care about their animals. :)

yup, he's just so darn cute and making me go "awwww :'( "

[@whatastandupguy3050]

There's nothing to be sad about, the mouse died long before it was used as food.

why so many dislikes? this is a great info video

[@moirawilliamson2989]

Cause PEETA. XD

[@adammoore251]

Are they pre heated so they can detect them? What do they eat in the wild at that size?

[@dudelivestrong]

Adam Moore yeah you put the mice in hot water to warm them up

[@dudelivestrong]

Adam Moore I started feeding mine frozen but now use live mice

[@nikolaybondarev7407]

dudelivestrong u shouldn't do that because those mice have to go through hell to get to a pet store or wherever u get them so for them to go through all of that and expect a nice home only to be treated like trash is horrible

[@adammoore251]

Nikolay Bondarev you buy them frozen. As in the are already dead.

[@CCompanyBot]

@@dudelivestrong I'd recommend against feeding alive unless there's some certain circumstances like your snakes used to eating live since they were a baby or a juvenile. Otherwise you should probably do frozen because live can harm your snake if they choose not to eat. But that was three years ago so I'm gonna leave this here for anyone who needs to know it

[@shizukagozen777]

They are so cute !!! And they look like some weird mini bananas. 😆

[@baamnight6878]

because you're a snake?

[@wolfgirl7335]

Because is cute

[@ShlisaShell]

No different than tube feeding a child. Seems stressful but is necessary.

[@Lalaladadadela]

Absolutely gorgeous animals.

[@arandomperson5185]

The force feeding looks like it would hurt

[@slayevan5121]

A Random Person it doesn't hurt. the snake has little holes on the lower jaw so it can breath while it has a rat, frog. etc. plus the snake can stretch out its jaws so it can eat things much bigger then itself. therefore it would not hurt the snake.

[@therandomperson5917]

A Random Person you are my cousin?

[@slayevan5121]

The Random Person huh?

[@pamaj-2656]

The Random Person 😂😂😂😂😂

[@caitystepleton8938]

as someone who loves rodents and snakes thank you for not live feeding:)

[@kavigosai8552]

yeah, it really sucks when they die in front of your eyes instead of frozen to death in the back of a pet store, it's way easier to deny reality that way am I right?

[@titaniumhexfold]

I wish I could feed my snakes pre killed mice but they are really picky. They won't even eat mice that aren't white furred.

[@RuneTrips]

Kavi just slayed this whole thread. Damn.

[@caitystepleton8938]

I still think it's more humane than having them swallowed alive to die slowly while being digested but thats just me

[@apx_frost8941]

I find that snakes need a sense of freedom. If Waylon Slithers (Yes. Really.) is going to spend the rest of his life in a box then he at least deserves to be treated to a live rat or mouse every now and then. Otherwise I'm just taking away the last thing he could hope for while in the box. It's not that I like live feeding, I just like my snake to be a happy boy.

[@smilz7470]

the first python was so cute, he was like "what food! NOM!

[@LisaMAltemose]

I've never seen juvenile's being fed before. Very interesting! :)

[@RicoPacoWorld]

"the snake looks quite alert" well, yeah, i think i'd be quite alert too if someone shoved a boiled egg down my throat

[@factsdontcareaboutyourfeel2900]

They are so sweet. I'm dying at 2:02 when he's just poking the snake over and over. I also like how it's called "the pinkie" because to me it sounds nicer than dead newborn mouse. Is that like a term in the field? Haha. I would love raising little baby snakes.

[@KolaCell]

[@rvdyahan2238]

you read my mind

[@Eddibles]

we all clicked on this video because we saw a baby mouse hanging out with tiny bananas in the thumbnail.

[@malicedixmois]

Excellent video Green Python. Great demonstrations of assisted and forced feeding. Thankfully I've never had the resort to either measure, but I also don't have many snakes. Friends have though, and I've heard it can be a difficult experience. I wish they would show this video in every pet shop before someone buys their first snake so buyers would be better prepared to determine wether a snake was the right pet for them.

[@jellypinkdonut]

Great job handling the snakes ! Didn't see any struggle or anything ! And there eating baby rats for those who don't know what they are

[@greenpython1224]

No, they are baby mice.

[@Nightmare-sc5er]

those pore baby rats

[@MrPunkiSims]

+jellypinkdonut are they already dead ? :S

[@zodiac3792]

+Green Python poor baby mice, can't you just feed them with chicken breast instead?

[@rushthezeppelin]

+Zod Iac Breast alone does not contain much besides protein. Snakes (well most anyway) really need organ meats and bones for all their mineral needs. This means whole prey is the best course of action. Plus for many snakes rodents are their main natural prey anyway. Mice and rats are also the cheapest fairly nutritionally complete animals to breed generally speaking (why do you think mice are used for lab experiments) so it's a pretty obvious choice for most. Another option is quall.

[@AloofMusician]

Why do they need force feeding? Do they not want to eat? If not, why not? Because they're not hungry or because they're sick?

[@taglini1169]

+FatPanda It's pretty often not known why they won't eat. a few species have this commonly occur in the new born snakes and I personally think they just don't know what they're doing

[@AloofMusician]

Oh i see, thanks for the reply :)

[@Taumantis]

+Cocoplops it is more like that they are too young to develop behavior in the "box" theirs instincts are programmed to eat in wild enviroment, when they are in some box, they can malfunction these instincts. Sorry for my english but i think u get the point

[@iRTehSecks]

+Taumantis The exact definition of instinct contradict that.. You dont rationalize or consciously think about instinct. It just happens automatically, naturally and without your control.

[@Taumantis]

iRTehSecks we ca debate, but I see your english is better And i am not fluent :P so you won

[@atlasnox9469]

Thank you very much for this video! I'm looking into become a hobby breeder and the forced/assist feeding bit was very educational. I never want to have to resort to that, but it's comforting that in case the situation arises, I know what to do.

[@evilcowboy]

If you want to breed you have to prepare yourself for the need ot have to force feed because you will run into it. The assist feeding is a bit easier to do but still a pain. you also have to get ready for a worse case scenario. Any breeder will tell you there are just those special cases where despite all your best efforts the snake may die. Most of that is usually caused by some problem like the snake not fully absorbing the yolk of the egg before coming out or a parasite.

[@TheOpelkoenjas]

evilcowboy Yep, ran into it too, with a fish eater not wanting to eat anything. Force feeding is scary, and it my case it did help. Healthy 5 year old snake now. ^^

[@rushthezeppelin]

+Natsuo Yoji Some species it just doesn't work for generally though. Garters will generally crash if you force feed them. Of course the are an ovoviviparous snake that sometimes will produce very large litters of toothpick bobble heads (presumably as a survival mechanism of putting out pure numbers).....it's almost invariable when you get a 30+ litter that some are going to be failure to thrive no matter what you do, they just lost the genetic lottery.

They cant chew tho thats why they just push it down their throat, their troat isnt like humans tho its more flexible.

[@cakebuu887]

Yes thankyou it was a joke , hopefully some peope will learn from your comment though :) Jokes for learning !

[@Kezz00]

Just saying in your comment it didnt seem like a joke because there was no sign to you using sarcasm. Everyone knows this snake doesnt chew so what are you trying to achive? Likes? Doesnt seem like anyone gives a damn shit about this comment

[@cakebuu887]

By your logic we shouldn't have a comments system because they achieve nothing. "No jokes allowed , unless you specifically point out obvious sarcasm so that no one feels like an idiot when taking them seriously", said Kelvin.

[@Kezz00]

Cake Cawley oh you wanna talk about logic? Alright so tell how can i tell that someone is always joking on the internet? Because we cant see physical emotions. Thats exactly why this is happening. Tbh i just thought you were dumb as fuck and still do. By your logic you're telling me its my fault for taking you seriously and also i hate to talk about the topic logic. Because people are dragging in words that i've never said. Just like you did "you didnt use a joke you said got a lazy snake? Just shove the dinner down its throat he doesnt even chew" ok thats okay but when i took you seriously. Your comment was so ignorant it almost made me puke.
